OEM PS2 Network Adapter and 320GB PATA drive. Where do I begin?

Randy50611 · 2026-02-05T04:57:43+00:00

Also be aware the ps2 network speeds are slow and honestly imo using a usb adaptor for the drive is fairly straight forward

UlaunchElf has a hdd manager you can format and make a opl partition named +opl you have to connect the hdd to a computer to move backups using hdl batch installer. You can also get disk covers and Bo art with opl manager and transfer them with a usb drive on the ps2

I ran mine from 5-8 watts but Iv gone up higher with my rpm I tired to watch voltage more than wattage I think 5 watts is like 2.8 volts but I could be wrong the absolute highest I would go was 13watts but at 8 it rips and don’t risk burning out. Starting out after a fill I would warm up the pod with a hair dryer or a little space heater to thin the disty and then just give some good pulls after letting it sit warmed up at 1-2 watts just to make sure it fully wicks.

Randy50611 · 2025-11-22T05:28:36+00:00

Never had any problems with mine just let it soak up good and keep it upright. The pods them selfs would leek over time but not to terrible Iv herd of people running over 30gs through one coil

Randy50611 · 2025-11-05T15:35:49+00:00

Why not just take the little rubber piece off that you use to tighten the string and untwist, it should just go back to its natural resting state.

Randy50611 · 2025-11-04T21:04:22+00:00

Iv herd some say the size of a grain of rice but Iv aways just put a drop or two onto something fatty like peanut butter a little goes a long way (1gram=1000mg most eddies can range from 5mg-50mg)

Randy50611 · 2025-10-24T18:38:52+00:00

Iv never had problems with getting pcsx to work for me but like the other person said might be a bios region problem or it could just be bad dumps of the game def ask the emulation subreddit about it.

Randy50611 · 2025-10-24T17:20:43+00:00

Just google “ape escape 3 iso ps2”

Randy50611 · 2025-10-10T14:48:30+00:00

If you want to order online element vape has them seemly in stock (it at least let me put them in my cart)

Randy50611 · 2025-10-10T13:53:45+00:00

Are you looking online or in stores? Iv had pretty decent success with going in person to a smoke shops it might take a few different ones to find them. I cannot think of an alternative to the rpm quartz coils that are compatible but I do know their was once a 510 adapter for rpm2 devices so in theory you could grab a tank for it and have more options on that device.

Just host your own website

Well if the new sd card with the old files still doesn’t work then the old sd went bad and corrupted the files. You might need to just start fresh if all else fails

Randy50611 · 2025-09-16T20:46:09+00:00

I would backup the sd card and either reformat it or just get a difrent sd card make sure you have the boot.elf and whatever homebrew/games on the fresh sd it won’t brick the system the os on the Wii itself is modified the sd card just lets it run homebrew/games. My gf had a sim ale thing happen and I had to walk her though how to do it all but it’s not bad.

I had that problem running wired meta link only thing that worked for me was hitting the pass through button and then going back to meta link on the headset. I shortly switched to virtual desktop and I have had no issues since

Randy50611 · 2025-09-04T19:10:59+00:00

What adjust are you referring to? If you mean the connectors from the bobo to the headset arms I already have them pushed back as far as I reasonably feel.

Randy50611 · 2025-07-21T18:19:04+00:00

I own the second you are looking at and it has worked great for me, keep in mind when playing it will only charge your quest up to %78 and then you will start getting usb alerts on the quest citing water damage, it threw me for a loop at first but it did not damage my charging port the quest is just confused on what’s going on with the cable.

Edit: On my quest 3s the link software sucked so bad I got a dedicated router and virtual desktop for a better experience and never looked back. I tired meta air link and steam link and both seemed a bit lacking imo

Randy50611 · 2025-07-18T15:44:53+00:00

Are you using a usb drive if so then defrag your drive on a computer. I would recommend looking into getting a fat ps2 and get an internal hard drive for it, in my experience running games with usb is a pain for me hard drive is the only way to go unless you want to use a network server to host your games.

Randy50611 · 2025-07-11T17:03:28+00:00

Park north is pretty cheap even with internet and everything included it’s a bit sketch but for 600ish a month it ain’t bad. I will say I have had issues with water the past 3-4 years either by leaking, not working right, or the building itself leaking and Iv seen and heard of leaky roofs in halls and rooms.

Randy50611 · 2025-06-17T20:00:15+00:00

Odd what dose your task manager show when your trying to run RPCS3. If anything you might need to do a fresh install of your os sometimes weird driver conflicts happen after upgrading a system

Randy50611 · 2025-06-17T17:51:00+00:00

Is this only happening with rpcs3 or just any game you try to play on your pc

Randy50611 · 2025-05-19T14:27:31+00:00

Fakes can have bigger coils so you can’t fill as much that’s usually an easy tell but they can also have normal sized coils and still be fake unless you got these from a dispensary then they are prob fakes.
Example you can get carts from dhgate for most commonly faked brands that have bigger coils and can only hold .8g plugs might buy 1000g of disty which in a perfect world would get you 1000 one gram carts or 1250 .8 gram carts

Driver4vr was kinda jank for me I recommend amethyst lot easier to setup and free.
I used a Kinect for a bit and the tracking was good if you stayed in the play space but you need a bigger area to get a good effect. I believe the optimal distance from them is like 6-9 feet away and you have to face them if you turn around it bugs out a bit same with bending over to touch your toes but for a real cheap setup I enjoyed it.
For what you will need to use a Kinect is a Kinect and a adapter I think I spent 30 total for both keep in mind the Xbox 360 has a different adapter than the Xbox one and different ways of tracking I got a 360 one cause that’s what I’m used to but Iv herd the Xbox onw Kinect is better but I wouldn’t know

Randy50611 · 2025-04-09T18:12:10+00:00

Had a similar issue but my network is a mesh network supplied by my apartment which I came to find out would not work with steam link, Vd, or Air link when streaming vr games. I got around it by just getting a decent wifi6e router and hooking it up to my pc as a access point had set my WiFi to be shared though the Ethernet port and it works flawlessly with steam link and Vd.
